or_o trespass_n and_o resolve_v to_o become_v a_o honest_a man_n i_o will_v pardon_v your_o fault_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o you_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n or_o some_o great_a man_n he_o will_v upon_o this_o promise_n be_v move_v quick_o to_o confess_v his_o felony_n and_o forgo_v his_o theft_n now_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n offer_v we_o this_o large_a promise_n of_o mercy_n that_o if_o a_o sinner_n will_v true_o and_o from_o his_o heart_n confess_v his_o sin_n and_o resolve_v to_o leave_v they_o he_o shall_v have_v pardon_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o king_n and_o priest_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n and_o this_o preferment_n we_o shall_v come_v unto_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n in_o a_o right_a manner_n oh_o but_o how_o may_v i_o do_v to_o come_v to_o be_v persuade_v of_o mercy_n if_o i_o come_v to_o god_n first_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o feale_v unto_o our_o heart_n this_o persuasion_n of_o mercy_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 4.6_o gal._n 4.6_o because_o we_o be_v son_n god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o our_o heart_n which_o cry_v abba_n father_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v work_v this_o assurance_n that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o upon_o this_o assurance_n we_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o cry_v abba_n father_n and_o go_v to_o our_o best_a father_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v mercy_n second_o we_o must_v offer_v up_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n &_o desire_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o serve_v he_o &_o to_o keep_v all_o his_o commandment_n than_o we_o shall_v receive_v mercy_n from_o god_n as_o that_o holy_a man_n nehemiah_n say_v o_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o let_v thy_o ear_n hearken_v to_o the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n and_o to_o the_o prayer_n of_o thy_o servant_n that_o desire_v to_o fear_v thy_o name_n so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v but_o true_o desire_v to_o repent_v and_o desire_v to_o keep_v all_o god_n commandment_n and_o desire_v to_o bewail_v all_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o strive_v against_o all_o corruption_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a we_o shall_v obtain_v mercy_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o if_o a_o christian_n parent_n command_v his_o child_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n and_o if_o he_o do_v it_o willing_o and_o cheerful_o and_o though_o he_o do_v it_o not_o so_o perfect_o as_o the_o parent_n himself_o yet_o he_o will_v take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n because_o his_o child_n endeavour_v to_o perform_v it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v how_o much_o more_o will_v god_n our_o heavenly_a father_n accept_v of_o the_o poor_a desire_n and_o endeavour_n of_o his_o child_n when_o he_o see_v in_o they_o a_o willing_a desire_n to_o do_v well_o but_o if_o our_o desire_n be_v good_a and_o true_a then_o there_o be_v a_o use_v of_o all_o good_a mean_n and_o ordinance_n to_o accomplish_v the_o thing_n desire_v or_o else_o it_o be_v but_o a_o slothful_a desire_n and_o it_o may_v not_o be_v call_v true_o a_o desire_n else_o but_o a_o lust_n but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o repent_v and_o to_o believe_v and_o also_o use_v all_o good_a mean_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v humble_v because_o we_o can_v repent_v and_o believe_v as_o we_o shall_v the_o lord_n will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o such_o holy_a desire_n and_o accept_v the_o will_n for_o the_o deed_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o doctrine_n and_o when_o he_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a way_n off_o his_o father_n see_v he_o and_o have_v compassion_n and_o run_v etc._n etc._n in_o all_o these_o word_n be_v set_v down_o the_o affection_n and_o love_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o resolution_n of_o his_o son_n the_o son_n be_v but_o come_v but_o the_o father_n be_v run_v he_o come_v slow_o for_o mercy_n but_o the_o father_n be_v ready_a and_o forward_o to_o show_v mercy_n which_o show_v the_o wonderful_a readiness_n of_o god_n to_o show_v mercy_n to_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n that_o come_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n from_o hence_o we_o learn_v this_o doctrine_n doct._n 3_o that_o god_n be_v very_o ready_a to_o show_v mercy_n unto_o every_o penitent_a sinner_n that_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o break_a and_o humble_a heart_n that_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n can_v no_o soon_o look_v for_o mercy_n from_o god_n but_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o show_v mercy_n to_o they_o that_o god_n be_v more_o ready_a to_o show_v mercy_n then_o penitent_a sinner_n can_v be_v to_o seek_v for_o mercy_n this_o we_o see_v in_o a_o natural_a father_n to_o his_o penitent_a child_n here_o now_o a_o natural_a parent_n have_v make_v no_o such_o promise_n to_o show_v mercy_n to_o his_o child_n but_o our_o heavenly_a father_n have_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o every_o penitent_a sinner_n to_o show_v he_o mercy_n again_o a_o natural_a parent_n can_v show_v mercy_n and_o kindness_n to_o his_o child_n without_o great_a cost_n and_o labour_n but_o our_o heavenly_a father_n he_o can_v show_v mercy_n without_o any_o trouble_n or_o charge_n for_o it_o be_v his_o name_n to_o be_v merciful_a now_o if_o this_o be_v in_o a_o natural_a parent_n that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n though_o he_o have_v not_o promise_v yea_o though_o it_o be_v to_o his_o great_a cost_n and_o pain_n how_o much_o more_o will_v our_o heavenly_a father_n show_v mercy_n to_o his_o child_n since_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o be_v both_o able_a and_o willing_a with_o ease_n to_o do_v it_o if_o this_o be_v in_o man_n which_o have_v but_o a_o drop_n of_o mercy_n in_o comparison_n of_o god_n what_o may_v a_o penitent_a soul_n expect_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a in_o mercy_n and_o pity_n to_o his_o this_o doctrine_n may_v very_o fit_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o example_n of_o god_n deal_v with_o david_n that_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v two_o grievous_a sin_n of_o adultery_n and_o murder_n and_o have_v almost_o sleep_v a_o twelve_o month_n in_o they_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v fain_o to_o send_v a_o herald_n of_o arm_n to_o he_o to_o awaken_v he_o out_o of_o his_o spiritual_a sleep_n and_o to_o help_v he_o out_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n but_o the_o prophet_n can_v no_o soon_o remember_v his_o sin_n to_o he_o but_o he_o do_v immediate_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o he_o no_o soon_o acknowledge_v and_o confess_v his_o sin_n 12.13_o 2._o sa._n 12.13_o but_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v pronounce_v his_o pardon_n yea_o before_o he_o do_v ask_v it_o the_o prophet_n tell_v he_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v away_o thy_o sin_n &_o thou_o shall_v not_o die_v this_o also_o we_o may_v see_v prove_v in_o that_o psalm_n which_o be_v entitle_v david_n learning_n wherein_o the_o prophet_n confess_v when_o i_o hold_v my_o tongue_n my_o bone_n consume_v and_o when_o i_o roar_v all_o the_o day_n that_o be_v as_o long_o as_o i_o do_v dissemble_v and_o seem_v to_o cloak_n and_o hide_v my_o fault_n i_o be_v plague_v and_o torment_v so_o that_o roar_v like_o a_o unreasonable_a beast_n through_o pain_n then_o i_o acknowledge_v my_o sin_n unto_o thou_o neither_o hide_v i_o my_o iniquity_n for_o i_o think_v i_o will_v confess_v against_o myself_o 32.45_o psal_n 32.45_o my_o wickedness_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o thou_o forgive_v the_o punishment_n of_o my_o sin_n thus_o we_o see_v he_o can_v no_o soon_o confess_v but_o he_o have_v pardon_v both_o from_o the_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o he_o can_v no_o soon_o seek_v for_o mercy_n but_o he_o obtain_v mercy_n at_o god_n hand_n also_o the_o prophet_n isay_n show_v the_o mcreie_n of_o god_n unto_o true_a repentant_a sinner_n where_o he_o say_v 64.5_o isay_n 64.5_o thou_o do_v meet_v he_o that_o rejoice_v in_o thou_o and_o do_v just_o they_o remember_v thou_o in_o thy_o way_n behold_v thou_o be_v angry_a for_o we_o have_v sin_v yet_o in_o they_o be_v continuance_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v where_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o lord_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o meet_v they_o half_a way_n as_o it_o be_v that_o set_v themselves_o in_o truth_n and_o uprightness_n to_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o meet_v he_o by_o repentance_n he_o will_v meet_v they_o swift_o though_o they_o come_v but_o soft_o and_o though_o they_o come_v heavy_o yet_o they_o shall_v depart_v joyful_o and_o the_o same_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o they_o call_v i_o will_v answer_v 65.24_o isay_n 65.24_o and_o while_o they_o speak_v i_o will_v hear_v this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o
